Wakefield try scorer Reece Lyne

It was Wakefield’s second successive defeat by Giants, following their Ladbrokes Challenge Cup exit and after winning their opening four Betfred Super League fixtures, they have lost eight of their last 10.

“It took us 30 minutes to get into the game,” Chester admitted.

“There was some poor discipline from us, a couple of errors and yardage penalties.

“We just didn’t help ourselves in that first half.

“I thought from the 30th minute to the 80th we were the better side, but you can’t afford to give 18 points away and that’s what we did in that first 30 minutes.
